HFSS15: Non-uniform Applied Bias Fields

To accurately model a ferrite in an applied static magnetic bias field, the non-uniform magnetic bias fields must also be calculated. In HFSS, a ferrite’s permeability tensor is a direct result of an applied static magnetic bias field. The static field causes the tensor to assume an hermitian form, with cross coupling terms between field components perpendicular to the bias. A uniform bias field is difficult to achieve in practice. Even if the bias field is nearly uniform, a non-ellipsoidal-shaped ferrite material will have non-uniform demagnetization, resulting in non-uniform fields in the ferrite.

Use the magnetostatic solver provided in the Maxwell 3D Field Simulator to generate a solution for non-uniform magnetostatic fields. Once a solution is generated it may be imported into HFSS.
